Abstract

Abstract As climate change and urbanization affect current water management systems, new solutions and approaches rooted in public acceptance are needed to ensure future water supply. In this study, we examine public attitudes to reuse of recycled water and associated worldviews, values, and perceptions in a site without historical water issues. A survey of 143 randomly sampled residents in the municipality of the growing Swedish town Knivsta revealed that 81.4% of the respondents had a positive attitude towards using recycled water in general. The results did not indicate any differences in attitudes between those living in and outside the municipality's urban areas. Perceived benefits and risks were found to be significantly related to both attitudes towards using recycled water in general and to the extreme case of using it for drinking purposes. Additionally, trust in public authorities was highly predictive of attitudes towards drinking recycled water. Furthermore, attitudes were found to be related to an environmental worldview and underlying biospheric, altruistic, and hedonic values. This indicates a need to consider the intended purpose as well as engaging with underlying values as part of the technology legitimation process for improving the chances of successful implementation of water recycling technologies.
瑞典一个城镇对水再利用态度的主要看法
随着气候变化和城市化对当前水管理系统的影响,需要基于公众接受的新解决方案和方法来确保未来的水供应。在这项研究中,我们考察了公众对循环水再利用的态度,以及在一个没有历史水问题的场地中相关的世界观、价值观和观念。在不断发展的瑞典小镇Knivsta市,对143名随机抽样的居民进行的一项调查显示,81.4%的受访者对使用循环水持积极态度。调查结果显示,居住在市区内外的人在态度上没有任何差异。研究发现,人们对一般使用循环水的态度以及将循环水用于饮用的极端情况都与预期的收益和风险密切相关。此外,对公共当局的信任可以高度预测人们对饮用循环水的态度。此外,态度被发现与环境世界观和潜在的生物圈、利他主义和享乐价值观有关。这表明需要考虑预期目的,并将基本价值作为技术合法化进程的一部分,以提高成功实施水循环技术的机会。
